Fun Elf on the Shelf Ideas
Lily Cute, our family’s Elf on the Shelf, arrived December 1st, and is she adorable! My daughter Maisie counted the days until Lily Cute’s arrival and it’s been nothing but fun ever since. Being that this is our first year to welcome an elf there wasn’t a grand entrance and as for the 2020 quarantine trend, she quarantined in the original box. However, a mask, toilet paper, and hand sanitizer might show up later in the month.
Day 1: Happy December 1st
Maisie woke up excited to meet Lily Cute. She ran around the house in search of her magical friend and found her nestled in our mini white Christmas tree holding candy canes and a red star balloon. She left a “Happy December 1st” message on a small chalkboard.
Day 2: Roasting Marshmallows
Maisie woke up extremely early on day two. She ran downstairs to find “a fire”. The fire was a battery-operated candle that Lily Cute was roasting a crispy brown marshmallow over. As you can see Maisie helped herself to a giant marshmallow from the “snow fort”. I love the glow of the light and so does Maisie. It brought the room a warm and mysterious ambiance.
Day 3: Rice Krispy Treats
Lily Cute decided it was time to bring a tasty treat and called on her fellow elf friends Snap!, Crackle!, and Pop! to make homemade red, white, and green Rice Krispy Treats – star-shaped of course. This party was held under the silver tree on our dining room table.
Day 4: Elf on the Shelf Pajamas
Lily Cute hosted a pajama party with Maisie’s other holiday friends. It was quite a surprise to see her big teddy bear was wearing a new nightgown only it was Maisie’s size. This darling long nightgown (Kohl’s) is adored by both the boy and girl Elves on the Shelf. Unless it’s a school day, she has pretty much spent the entire week wearing it. You can also buy Elf on the Shelf PJs.
Day 5: The Floor is Lava
What better way to escape a floor of lava than a zip line across the kitchen? Below Lily Cute were flames placed on the kitchen stools. This was by far Maisie’s favorite morning.
Day 6: Elf on the Shelf Sugar Cookie Cereal
Elf of the Shelf’s Sugar Cookie Cereal appeared on our kitchen island this morning. Our elf used an espresso cup and spoon for her star-shaped cereal bowl and Maisie’s bowl was a Christmas green. The pair had a cheery breakfast together. Maisie’s favorite feature is the mini marshmallows.
What will Lily Cute will do tomorrow???
Stay tuned for more Elf on the Shelf mischief.
